Load up some fall favorites on a sheet pan and cook your whole meal together. This easy recipe features Italian sausage, acorn squash and kale in a way that they all shine!
Preheat oven to 425°F and grease a rimmed sheet pan.
Clean acorn squash and remove the seeds and pulp from the center. Cut into slices about 1" thick. Arrange squash slices and sausages on prepared pan.
In small bowl, stir together 1½ Tablespoons oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, thyme and vinegar. Drizzle over acorn squash and sausage, then toss to coat. Roast for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile clean, dry and tear your kale into bite sided pieces. Drizzle with remaining 1 Tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt. Toss and lightly massage the kale with the oil. Set aside.
After 15 minutes, flip the squash and sausage and return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
Arrange dressed kale in the spaces between the sausage and acorn squash. Return to the oven for 5-10 more minutes. The kale should have some slightly crispy bits, the sausage should be cooked to at least 165°F and the squash should be tender.
